Sewing Chiffon Tips. Learn Sewing Techniques For Difficult Fabrics. Chiffon is a lightweight, sheer fabric made from cotton, silk or synthetic fibers. It’s used frequently in evening wear and lingerie, but also works well for blouses or other light, airy garments. Chiffon can be quite slippery, which makes it tricky to work with. It’s not recommended for your first foray into machine sewing, but if you’ve got the basics down, it’s worth giving it a shot. Here are a few sewing chiffon tips to make the process easier: Cover your cutting surface with tissue paper. Lay your fabric on top of the tissue paper and your pattern pieces on top of the fabric. Cut through the tissue paper. You can also try using a liquid stabilizer to help stabilize the fabric throughout the construction process. Use fabric weights to keep the fabric smooth and taut as you cut. Cut through only one layer of fabric at a time.

Use tailor tacks instead of cutting notches. You’ll want a fairly short stitch length– somewhere between 12 to 20 stitches per inch. Avoid back tacking. 12 Beautiful Tote Purse Patterns eBook.

Sewing for kids/quick sewing project/sew an activity bag. Most fabric bags or totes for kids are rather wimpy. I remember putting toys and books in fabric bags for my boys, but the parts and pieces would often get lost in the bottom of the bag. After buying adorable finger puppets for my granddaughters, I knew they needed a home in an activity bag. Activity Bag Tutorial Fabrics/supplies: Four fat-quarters for the project. Note from Nancy: If you’d like a taller top closure like the activity bag pictured below, purchase three fat quarters plus 1/3 yard of a fourth fabric, in this instance, the yellow striped fabric.

Fold two fat quarters, meeting the short edges and trim off the selvage edges. Stack the fabrics and cut 10″ x 13″ rectangles. Stitch the outer bag shapes right-sides together along the lower edge. Cut a pocket from another fat quarter, 9″ x 13″.Fold the rectangle, right sides together, meeting the long edges.Stitch the long edge, using a 1/2″ seam allowance (the ends will remain open). Cut upper bag fabric. Unfold the rectangles. 16 Free Skirt Patterns + 5 New Ideas.
